Ruk Mai Leum (2019)

Let's start with the good stuff first.
The chemistry between the leads were really great but I feel slightly disappointed that the romance was overshadowed by all the murder attempts, greed, kidnapping and other evil acts.

Now for the bad stuff.
I thought the villain literally getting away with murder was done way too many times, for way too long.

I enjoy amnesia plots but this was just too much of it.

I wish they spent a bit more time on the romance because throughout you could see/feel the chemistry between the second couple develop but towards the end it's like it came out of nowhere.

It's not a horrible lakorn but I wouldn't personally rewatch it, maybe just watch some clips here and there.

A bit bland, but cute nonetheless

STORY:
The story had a really nice plot (as you can tell from the summary), but it was littered, and I mean LITTERED with sub plots that were all exactly the same. They used the amnesia subplot at least THREE TIMES and I can't count how many more times the ML was in danger but miraculously survived. There was also the villain getting away with just stabbing someone and not even bothering with the evidence at least 5 times. And of course, we have our must-have FL jumps in front of gun + emotional coma scene (LOL, I'm desensitized to these by now).
The FL didn't add that much to the story either. There was chemistry between the two, but the romance was rushed and the FL was always being a Mary Sue or Damsel in distress (ikr, never thought those two would clash) so it was really hard to relate to any characters.

ACTING/CAST:
The chemistry was there. But the production and directing killed it (still... watch it, the romance and chemistry is cute OvO). All of the scenes had awkward cuts and awkward zooms and you could tell that lots of the actors were over-exaggerating their characters.

MUSIC:
Your average lakorn music.

REWATCH VALUE:
Quite frankly, this drama bored me. It was just a mix of every possible dramatic thing in a drama. There was so many things going on, happening so quickly, that the drama got old real quick. I wouldn't rewatch this one. And I'm up to rewatch almost any other lakorn that I've watched.
If I did rewatch this one, I'd skip around the drama and just watch for the romance~

Amnesia dramas, am I right? LOL. I liked this show overall, it was an all it was cracked out to be in any cliche Thai drama. Someone gets murdered for money because the other person is a jerk and selfish, then someone gets amnesia and in this it just so happen to be 3948294 times lmaaooo. It does it overshadowed by the bad guys and all that but the chemistry was awesome in my opinion. You got people seeking for revenge because there's people out here trying to be the mafia and what not but the main leads are cute together, they really just make you swoon at the thought of them being together and they really could've used more screen time but I liked the family members, I liked the guys trying to just be good guys and etc. Even though it has murder and wannabe drug lords and bad people wanting to be good, it was worth the watch and it's quick and easy! Also the OST is nice lol. so 8/10, I would give it a shot.
